Enjoying my past, youthful assumption that 2020 was a terrible year that was the exception to the rule but every year since has just gotten worse and worse.... there is no upswing!

I’m gonna **** this mfer

Hochul’s move here is profoundly racist and dehumanizing. Defining Palestinian studies as fundamentally antisemitic means defining Palestinians as something to be erased. It is genocidal. This is also an unacceptable attack on academic freedom. The governor should have no say in faculty hiring.

Oh man even the HK lib consensus folks are realizing it's now discursively viable to critique the Trump regime. Delicious.

The WKW wars raging right now (again) are so fascinating to me... first it was "WKW means nothing to locals it's just diaspora fantasy" now it's "theatrical is pure doctrine, WKW's revisionism is apostasy." Really want to write something about the insane projection surrounding him as an artist.

In case anyone is wondering, dems will 1000% just roll over and pass the GOP budget

Sorry I know the whole "every anti-gay politician is closeted" thing is wrong to say now but this motherfucker is absolutely all over Grindr

1 year since Aaron Bushnell’s self-immolation outside the Zionist embassy. Over 500 days since this phase of genocide. In his last breath, “Free Palestine.” Barbarian Books in Hiroshima honors his and Rachel Corrie’s sacrifice with this poster: www.barbarianbooks.institute/pdfs/RachelA...

I don't think Zionists understand how truly brain breaking it is to see in real time the self-proclaimed bearers of Jewish life and tradition consistently defend surging neo-Nazism. Whatever violence may befall them, let no one say it was undeserved....

beauty of the day h/t m hirner and here's a little lynch chat with the beautiful colm toibin! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

[email protected] announced that tomorrow they're shutting down their Mobile Justice app that allowed users to record police interactions to the cloud. The only similar app we're aware of is Cop Watch Video Recorder for iPhone. What else exists for this purpose, particularly on Android phones?

Bluesky must be purged of resist libs good god. Send them back to Facebook!

Israel has deployed tanks to the occupied West Bank, further intensifying the assault that has forcibly displaced tens of thousands of Palestinians as Israeli officials are vowing a “prolonged” operation in the area.

Israel’s defense minister said around 40,000 Palestinians cannot return anytime soon to the homes they were forced to flee in the West Bank. Palestinian refugees have the right to return to areas they fled or were expelled from—both in the occupied territory and Israel.

NEW: The International Criminal Court has been asked to investigate former President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin for aiding and abetting Israeli war crimes in Gaza.

Abandoned karaoke club in a doomed skyscraper in #Taiwan. The building was heavily damaged in the 921 Earthquake and eventually condemned. This one has been on my bucket list for a long, long time, so I'm glad I was able to sneak a peek before it is reduced to dust and memory forever. #urbex

I must say I underestimated how fucking terrible twitter would get under Elon, and how fast. Still kinda belatedly mourning what is the loss of a really amazing online community...

Curious how Putin is allegedly so focused on de-Nazification but hasn't said one peep about Germany or the US!

Who up losslessly compressing theyselves to roughly 4 megabytes

I'm losing my mind that everyone around me isn't absolutely disillusioned after the entire Western world brutally closed ranks on the Palestine Exception for 1+years. Before 2023, people (may have) had an excuse to not know but how can the bright red lines encircling us not feel like a stranglehold?

The more you learn about how the modern world came into being (eg. liberal democracy's role in millions of deaths, invasions, occupations, and untold inequalities that led to injury, debility, and beyond), the more you're not supposed to talk in such dogshit platitudes about abstract "democracy."

Amazing thread documenting who'll be first up against the wall

Hey man only 66,000 WWII veterans still alive... we can start sieg heiling right

Today is Bob Sheldon Day, commemorating the life and death of activist bookseller Bob Sheldon, who was assassinated in Chapel Hill, NC on Feb. 21, 1991 at the height of the antiwar movement against the First Iraq War 🕯️🕯️🕯️ Gone but not forgotten!

The fact that resistance libs are pretty much still stuck doing this while Trump and Elon dismantle the entire government is the most stinging indictment of liberalism

ICE raided a home up the block from me last week. My neighbors had attended a community ICE watch training with @siembranc.bsky.social and did exactly what they'd learned: verified, challenged, and witnessed. truthout.org/articles/tru...

What makes me even more mad than the stupid Greek alphabet use is the designer using Poor Things quirk font…. Like can you imagine anything less diametrically opposed to Nolan over seriousness

The more people understand their rights, the better they can protect themselves. We compiled this guide with the help of legal experts and advocates. Share it far and wide.

"The level of access DOGE possesses means that the organization may already be able to siphon data that Musk or his agents could hold on to forever, long after his time as a government liaison, or even after a potential falling-out with the president."

NEW: A handful of states just introduced bills to ban "surveillance pricing and wages" That's when companies charge/pay differently based on personal data. Advocates fear the practice is widespread in the gig economy @willoremus.com & me washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Not to sound too adventurist here but didn't Luigi make clear the there are clearer options to protesting elite rule than clever signs and chants

I mean everyone is freaking out that Trump called himself a king (not surprising in the least). What we've long had to figure out is why people yearn to be dominated by kings...

They arrived at the United States border from around the world, hoping to seek asylum. Instead, they were detained, shackled and flown by the U.S. military to a faraway country, Panama. Our exclusive look at a new front in Pres. Trump’s immigration crackdown:

So with all the civil servant mass firings, are we basically gearing up for a bourgeois revolution...

I think people who think annexing Canada is an actual possibility (outside of a wartime invasion scenario) really don’t understand how insane a lot of Canadians are. They absolutely would not go lightly to say the least.
